Oscillating device for a continuous casting mold

Abstract

An oscillating device for a continuous casting mold, wherein the continuous casting mold is guided on a support frame and is moved in an oscillating manner by servo hydraulic cylinders arranged on the support frame. Each servo hydraulic cylinder is fastened at the bottom thereof through an elastic fastening element on the support frame and the piston rods of the servo hydraulic cylinders are connected with the mold. The fastening element is composed of an elastic bending web which on both sides thereof is provided with fastening flanges.

We claim: 
     
       1. A continuous casting mold guided in a casting direction on a support frame, the continuous casting mold comprising an oscillating device comprising servo hydraulic cylinders mounted on the support frame, the servo hydraulic cylinders comprising piston rods connected to the continuous casting mold for moving the continuous casting mold in an oscillating manner, each servo hydraulic cylinder having a bottom, further comprising an elastic fastening element connected to the bottom of each servo hydraulic cylinder, the elastic fastening element being fastened on the support frame, wherein the elastic fastening element is configured such that bending of the elastic fastening element occurs without bending of the piston rods to permit pivoting of the hydraulic cylinders. 
     
     
       2. The continuous casting mold according to claim 1, wherein the elastic fastening element comprises an elastic web-shaped member having two ends, the elastic fastening element further comprising fastening flanges connected to both ends of the web-shaped member. 
     
     
       3. The continuous casting mold according to claim 1, further comprising a mold table, the piston rods of the servo hydraulic cylinders being connected to the mold table through a joint.
